Sanremo 2021, Amadeus replies to Morgan: “I never promised him anything”

Liar, traitor and inadequate to perform the duties of art director. There are many allegations that Morgan has moved against Amadeus after the announcement of the 26 Big ones who will take part in the next edition of the Sanremo Festival, scheduled for March 2 to 6 in prime time on Raiuno. To hurt the conductor, who also wanted Morgan in the jury of Love Sanremo, the program that prepared young people for the New Proposals, was above all the violence of the attack which, from public profiles on social media, also extended to private ones, as Amadeus himself tells Free. “He has sent me insults in private than it is better to ignore it. Too bad, because he is very good at talking about music, but then the fact is that he gets angry with everyone. For me it only got upset because I called Bugo. But Cristian’s song is very beautiful. If I wanted to mess with them I would have called them both, “he explains.

“Morgan said a lot of untrue things. I didn’t promise him a place in the Big 26, I just told him to send, if he had it, a track to submit to me. To him as to many others. He sent me five. I felt that they were not right for my Festival »replies Amadeus who adds that he sent a warning to Morgan from the lawyer Piergiorgio Assumma. Among the most serious accusations that the artistic director dodges with great elegance is the fact that Morgan says that Amadeus would have promised him a place among the 26 after agreeing to be a juror for Love Sanremo – “This thing is only in his head, like that of him who would have worked for free, I would never have allowed myself” – and the fact that he does not have the skills to be able to choose the songs to be competed, since “he doesn’t know what it’s a C Major »-« I don’t agree. An art director needs to know what works and what doesn’t, regardless of technique. An artistic director has a personal vision of his Festival e he chooses according to his criteria. However, a great coach has not always been a great player. Look at Mourinho… ».

At this point the conversation moves to the remarkable number of songs selected for the 71st edition: 26. «Precisely because I wanted to give space to music. Indeed, to the songs even before the singers. At least we’ll call a few less guests. I’m not hiding: we will be two in the morning but, apart from the final, no later than that. And then Fiorello tells me: ‘I fall asleep at 11.30‘, I find him dozing behind the scenes. It’s the Song Festival, they always say, but for me it’s really like that ». Certainly the hope is to move forward in the organization “as if there was no virus”: “Sanremo must be as ‘normal’ as possible. It must be so! Sanremo is the people on the streets, the public at the Ariston, the press room. At the limit we will take some necessary precautions: buffered public and journalists, distancing in the square, but 70-80% must be a ‘normal’ Festival. If there is a vaccine in March we will do everything possible to have as many vaccinated people as possible ». Finally, a hint of Jovanotti’s possible involvement – “You don’t have to call friends, they’ll come and stop if they want” – and the certainty of Fiorello’s return – “He reassures me, he’s the great showman and lights up everything around him” .
